Talking about the Irish being rich... ha ha! Of course, anyone can be rich if banks can print money and give it to people. Doesn't work so well when the banks want the money back with interest.
Microsoft insuring its success by "demoting" Bill Gates.
Steve Jobs being potentially envious of Bill Gates.
Boy, I'd like to like Thurow, but prediction and even explaining the current obviously isn't something he has any particular skill for.
I am from Switzerland and i wrote a big Work about him and his Books and i was out to meet this legend but when i called the MIT i heard that Prof. Thurow leaved the MIT... i was realy disappointed about that... he was the best economist in the entire world! Respect for this Man!
He's also a liberal and so his logic and analysis is fatally flawed by this bias.
Whining about there being two Senators for each state? Puhlease! Should california be allowed 5 or 6 senators just because there aren't enough democrats?
I agree with whomever it was that said we should sell San Francisco to pay off our foreign debt. It would solve so many of our nation's problems in one fell swoop.
Name calling, "liberal" instead of addressing the issues raised reveals the shallowness of your position. If he is biased by liberal thought, you are biased by conservative thought. There was nothing liberal in the lecture. Your sell San Francisco comment is neither conservative or liberal, just childish.
@isgoodno Yeah, like you read his book. Puhlease! And as far as messing with California? Forget Texas, if we in California seceded, the American economy would absolutely collapse. Keep making dumass comments like that and we just might sick the Governator on you!!!
Boy, this lecture shows its age.

This guy's book is terribly flawed.
He's also a liberal and so his logic and analysis is fatally flawed by this bias.
